Postanak 1
1 U poèetku stvori Bog nebo i zemlju.
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
2 A zemlja bješe bez oblièja i pusta, i bješe tama nad bezdanom; i duh Božji dizaše se nad vodom.
But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
3 I reèe Bog: neka bude svjetlost. I bi svjetlost.
And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
4 I vidje Bog svjetlost da je dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
5 I svjetlost nazva Bog dan, a tamu nazva noæ. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan prvi.
And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
6 Potom reèe Bog: neka bude svod posred vode, da rastavlja vodu od vode.
God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
7 I stvori Bog svod, i rastavi vodu pod svodom od vode nad svodom; i bi tako.
And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
8 A svod nazva Bog nebo. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan drugi.
And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
9 Potom reèe Bog: neka se sabere voda što je pod nebom na jedno mjesto, i neka se pokaže suho. I bi tako.
Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
10 I suho nazva Bog zemlja, a zborišta vodena nazva mora; i vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
11 Opet reèe Bog: neka pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme, i drvo rodno, koje raða rod po svojim vrstama, u kojem æe biti sjeme njegovo na zemlji. I bi tako.
And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
12 I pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme po svojim vrstama, i drvo, koje raða rod, u kojem je sjeme njegovo po njegovijem vrstama. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
13 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan treæi.
And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
14 Potom reèe Bog: neka budu vidjela na svodu nebeskom, da dijele dan i noæ, da budu znaci vremenima i danima i godinama;
Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
15 I neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom, da obasjavaju zemlju. I bi tako.
Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 I stvori Bog dva vidjela velika: vidjelo veæe da upravlja danom, i vidjelo manje da upravlja noæu, i zvijezde.
And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
17 I postavi ih Bog na svodu nebeskom da obasjavaju zemlju.
And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
18 I da upravljaju danom i noæu, i da dijele svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan èetvrti.
And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 Potom reèe Bog: neka vrve po vodi žive duše, i ptice neka lete iznad zemlje pod svod nebeski.
And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
21 I stvori Bog kitove velike i sve žive duše što se mièu, što provrvješe po vodi po vrstama svojim, i sve ptice krilate po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro;
And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 I blagoslovi ih Bog govoreæi: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite vodu po morima, i ptice neka se množe na zemlji.
And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
23 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan peti.
And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 Potom reèe Bog: neka zemlja pusti iz sebe duše žive po vrstama njihovijem, stoku i sitne životinje i zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem. I bi tako.
God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
25 I stvori Bog zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem, i stoku po vrstama njezinijem, i sve sitne životinje na zemlji po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Potom reèe Bog: da naèinimo èovjeka po svojemu oblièju, kao što smo mi, koji æe biti gospodar od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od stoke i od cijele zemlje i od svijeh životinja što se mièu po zemlji.
And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
27 I stvori Bog èovjeka po oblièju svojemu, po oblièju Božijemu stvori ga; muško i žensko stvori ih.
And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
28 I blagoslovi ih Bog, i reèe im Bog: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite zemlju, i vladajte njom, i budite gospodari od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od svega zvjerinja što se mièe po zemlji.
And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29 I još reèe Bog: evo, dao sam vam sve bilje što nosi sjeme po svoj zemlji, i sva drveta rodna koja nose sjeme; to æe vam biti za hranu.
And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
30 A svjemu zvjerinju zemaljskom i svjema pticama nebeskim i svjemu što se mièe na zemlji i u èem ima duša živa, dao sam svu travu da jedu. I bi tako.
and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
31 Tada pogleda Bog sve što je stvorio, i gle, dobro bješe veoma. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan šesti.
And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
